The ASIO driver should be placed in the same folder with your other ASIO drivers, and you should select this driver in the setup of your application (for example, using System Setup in Cubase). In Kyma, there is a new ExternalInput object that represents audio from an external source -- in this case, audio from the ASIO driver. The ExternalInput can be used just like any other Sound in Kyma -- you can process or mangle it, or you can just send it to the Capybara outputs (as the example timeline does). We are releasing this ASIO driver *as is*, with minimal support. We are doing this so that some people can use it right away, without having to wait while we complete the audio input half of the ASIO driver, and while we work on the Windows version. In answer to the obvious question, we are planning to finish these drivers in the early fall. Hope you have fun with the beta driver! IP: Logged | |

oh yes! i feel like having won the lotterie! now i just pray that max/msp also works in 24bit mode. any chance of having the chance to choose? (16 - 24 bit) in the near future??? i love you IP: Logged | |

cool tested with spark + max/msp. works well except that it eats up cpu cycles in max/msp. i understood that if you check "no" in the quit on file/exit misc. pref the capy doesn´t stop the sound. is this also true for the 8 ch in timeline? IP: Logged | |

YAY, Looking forward to testing this on PC. Will my Capy 66 function with this driver or is it only for 320 owners? thanks, Kenneth IP: Logged | |

This should work with all flavors of Capybara: 33, 66, LS, 320. Expect Windows and ASIO input in early fall. IP: Logged | |

What are the differences between the various Capy models? Apparently the 320 is the current version. What processors were used on the earlier ones, and how much memory and speed? - DM IP: Logged | |

The 320LS I have has the same dsps and memory as the newer 320, and its a bit faster.. But, it has less I/O's (I plan to get the upgrade) and less expansion slots (6 free) I bought it on ebay thinking it was the 320 cause thats what the guy told me. But I got ripped off. I payed 2275$ for it. It only cost 1999$ when it was new. Alltho, they dont make it anymore. I still got a good deal I guess. I like it. It runs faster than the newer basic system. But I kinda wanted the I/Os and more expansion slots. (It only has left and right inputs and outputs and thats it..) IP: Logged | |

Do you know if Performer was using 24-bit I/O? Right now, the ASIO driver only accepts 24 bit audio data streams. [This message has been edited by SSC (edited 16 May 2001).] IP: Logged | |

hi! i finally got ahold of the driver, and under OS 9.1 cannot get any sound out through Peak, SonicWORX, or Digital Performer. i guess from what Kurt is saying, we can only playback 24 bit soundfiles. but since my 320-A isn't capturing successfully at 24 bit, i have no way of testing... Kurt, can you add 16 bit support to this soon? Really looking forward to using this! IP: Logged | |

oh, actually, the problem with sonicWORX was that it crashes the application immediately after selecting the capybara driver in preferences. i never got to the point of testing sound files.. IP: Logged | |

It is not that it can only play back 24-bit files, but that the application that uses the ASIO drivers must format the data in 24 bits (that is, add 8 bits to each sample of a 16-bit recording). The newer versions of Cubase do this, but we do not know much about other applications. IP: Logged | |

I have successfully used the ASIO driver with Logic Platinum 4.7 and SonicWorx Artist 2.0. Logic has occasional clicks and pops on playback. Also the left channel appears to be slightly louder than the right. When SonicWorx stops playback , a small portion of the sample at the stop point will continously loop. IP: Logged | |

This is a short response to bring the post with the ASIO drivers up where people can find it again. IP: Logged | |

How is the audio input side doing? and will 16bit also be supported? Andrew IP: Logged | |

Digital Performer is 24 bit as are later versions of Peak. I use both programs with my Korg OASYS PCI cards ASIO driver and it works perfectly. I have never tried the Kyma driver as half a beta is not very useful to me and I just communicate with the Capy thru the OASYS SP/DIF and use its ASIO to route Kyma audio to other app's. Multi-channel, more than stereo, would be nice but only one ASIO driver can be used at once with any app. I wish there was some other way to expand the Capy besides more analog (I've gratefully ditched my external mixer) or more!? AES/EBU pairs (is the Capy the only device with more than one of these? what do you do with them?). With all the OS updates and whatnot an ADAT optical option is somthing I'm not holding my breath on (even though I do look good in blue)  IP: Logged | |

As it turns out, Project X (updating Kyma to work under OS X and Windows XP), does have implications for the ASIO drivers as well. There are some features of the new OS's that will make it possible to do a better implementation of the ASIO drivers for both Mac and PC. So there will be some perqs beyond just being able to run Kyma in aqua... IP: Logged |
